You are misinformed and have an erroneous opinion. You also just called me a liar which makes you an accuser of one of the Brethren who appeals to the Bible, the written Word of God, but not your religious order's teachings about the Bible.

If you were appealing solely to the Bible then all you would do is quote from it. Once you present a meaning that goes beyond the words of the Bible you are presenting an interpretation. Protestants always claim the right to do this themselves but somehow refuse Catholics the same ability.

If you look at the various disputes between Catholics and Protestants here you will see that we are not arguing about what the Bible actually says but about what does it mean when the Bible says it. I have read and study the Bible for many years and I find the teachings of the Catholic Church fully in harmony with it.

Then you are a poor reader and a poor student and are still defending a false religion against the written Word of God which refutes many teachings of the Roman Catholic church, regardless the RCC's many denials of fact.

You presented this as an accusation of me. Actually, it is these, your own words, which disprove your defense of the RCC additions to the Bible and indict all RCC workers of iniquity in your shared guilt of defending that which is clearly un-Godly.

You are right, Petrosias. I have been reading and studying the Bible since January 31st, 1970, and I have major, irreconcilable disagreements with RCC doctrines. So be it. I will continue trucking for the Lord. You do what you think is right, and I will do what I think is right, and see how it all comes out in the end. Have a nice forever. 😇
